Why Photons Take 40,000 Years to Escape the Sun

Описание: The ultimate comparison: 40,000 years vs. 8 minutes. A photon's life is a long, difficult struggle just to escape the Sun's core, only to then cruise to Earth at the speed of light. Science is wild! #astronomyfacts

Discover the mind-boggling timeline of a photon's journey. Learn why it takes up to 40,000 years for a photon to travel from the Sun's core to its surface due to constant absorption and re-emission, but only 8 minutes to cover the 93 million miles to Earth.
